Bruce Trail (Niagara Section km's 0 - 16.2) Length: 16.2 km linear. Pace: 4+km/h. Route: We will start in Queenston and will be hiking the main trail West to the Welland Canal. Sights: The Trail starts at the southern terminus cairn at the eastern end of Queenston Heights Park. The Trail runs west along a row of trees. It enters deep woods and follows the brow of the Escarpment, along the edge of a quarry. It then makes a steep descent, and reaches a railway bed. It then follows this bed for a short distance until it emerges from under Highway 405. After a climb of 500 m it enters Fireman's Park, where there is a picnic area and outdoor toilets. After skirting around the north side of a pond, The Trail climbs a hill and returns to the hardwood bush. Following the Escarpment, the Trail passes a vineyard. It then continues to follow a railroad, passes another vineyard, and the Woodend Conservation Area before coming to where we are ending the first part of this series.
